Davide and the Scaler team continue to punch above their weight class and great to see you highlighting it.

Another great update. I'm visualising Scaler 3 will host multiple instruments at the same time. Bass, keys, rhythm etc. Wow maybe even a channel for pitch corrected singing. That would be incredible for us novices.

[gaffster]

By FAR my favorite compositional tool. Thanks for another cool update!

Scaler is such a lovely plugin. I can only imagine version 3.0 will be AI or ML based as that seems to be the trend in a lot of new plugins.

[andyxandyx]

Awesome, it would be dope to have a soloist option to play alongside your chord progression and be able to randomize endless possibilities 😁. That would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[userq]

It is a fabulous update people. Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. The arps, the passes, songs, live suggest etc. all dope. Hope the next gen has the same level of upping the game on the bass and strumming phrases. Keep up the awesome work🤘🏽

[Harrysound]

Excellent . Love Scaler. Just need stand alone, easier to read fret board mode, proper programmable time line instead of the timing thing they have now.

[mortenkalland]

We want a standalone version with drums and save as in cloud. <3 Scaler 2 is godsend

[lookmomonlycomputer]

This chord sugest is really what's missing out before, what a great addition!!

[sapiotone]

I don’t get chord packs are still a thing, when Scaler was great at v1 and has been getting better and better with each release. By far one of my favourite plugins

[RUPRO]

I have become a reader who supports automatic sessions at the DAW level. The scale is the number of users using the major tools. It must act as a “ruler” of the arrangement, capable of overlapping polyphonic and homophonic sounds.

[BigPokemon]

Had been waiting for something like passages. Great update

[anthonysallis]

Really great. I'm loving the pieces that take shape when I use Scaler, they turn into fascinating epics that tear me from my usual methods. It was good before, and now gets better!

[guyshard]

Thank you so very much for this great and useful update !!

[userq]

Thanks for the free update. Rad amendments🤘🏽

[CarlitoProductions]

Nice! I need to update. One of my favorite plugins I own because of how useful it is

[ToastandJam]

When is this coming to the IOS version?

[Grantgc]

just needs a step note sequencer built into it as well and it would be amazing

[petertremblay]

I don't use live mode since since we cannot select chords while sliding to the end of the suggestion, it work only for chords visible but once you slide to other suggestions it always reset to beginning making pretty hard to get going.

[BernardFate]

Great! I'll play around with it :-)
